Located in the heart of San Francisco, in a residential neighborhood of tree lined streets known as Duboce Triangle close to "the Castro", this comfortable private room is located on the second floor of a historic San Francisco Victorian building. Free high speed Wi-Fi is provided. The accommodations are private with en suite bathroom, but the hosts reside in the same building and are able to answer any questions on transport or tourism within the area.

Boasting hardwood floors, high ceilings and period architectural detail, the property boasts an authentic charm. The cosy room is tastefully decorated and features a comfortable queen-size bed, a spacious closet and a high definition TV with a broad array of cable channels. The room has a window for light and fresh air, but does no have a view (if a view is desired please see our other listing).

The room is also equipped with a refrigerator, hair dryer and a writing desk. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a Keurig brand coffee/tea machine with an assortment of complimentary coffee and teas to choose from. The en suite bathroom includes a fully tiled walk-in shower with slate floors (but not a bathtub).

The surrounding area offers a variety of outdoor cafes, diverse bars and historical attractions just a short stroll from the house. The famous Castro Theatre is just a 2-minute walk away, and the Randall Museum can be reached within less than a 15-minute walk. Subways and historic street cars are a block away providing easy access to (and easy retreat from) the CIty's tourist attractions and downtown. Public transportation is a key attraction of our location and a car is definitely not needed.

Reviews for this host's other properties

Just i saw the attic i had the feeling to be in something special. I felt the calm inside of myself and the impression was very good. I felt really happy. Laurence and his beautiful labrador came to meet me and showed me the mansard. Everything was in the right place and cleaned. The attic is very big and bright. Also the bed is very big and comfortable. I was alone to spend my holiday week but i never felt lonely in that house. I ve nothing bad to say about the attic, it' s simply perfect according to my taste. And the best thing of that attic is the splendid view of San Francisco that i could enjoy from the large window. Thanks Laurence for everything and your kindness. Cinzia

The appartment which is located in the attic of their house is fantastic - great view, good bed, clean & tidy and nice bath.
The host Laurence is great - amongst others, he gave good advice on what´s good in SF and the area.
Nick sent daily mails with tips and insights.
Will return to Nick and Laurence next time I´m in SF.

Loved our stay in this cool SF artist's garret cum penthouse. It's much bigger than it looks on the photos; it actually takes quite a while to walk from one end of the apartment to the other! The bed is huge and comfy. The jacuzzi splendidly decadent and the view simply stunning.

The open bathroom arrangement is a bit strange, but as the place is so big, it really didn't cause us any problems. There is a shower attachment but as the roof slopes you can't stand up under it.

Our hosts, Nick and Laurence, were welcoming and helpful, and they seem to have thought of pretty much everything. It's a really comfortable place to stay and you feel pretty cool there too, as you lounge around drinking in the view of this fabulous city or sunbathing in front of the open window.

Not sure this place would be great for party animals. There is an expectation that you'll be quiet (being on the top floor and above everyone else). This was fine for us and meant that the whole building was v peaceful and quiet.

We thought the location of this apartment was great. Two mins walk to the Muni (10 mins to downtown from your front door) and historic F line streetcar and, on lots of other transport routes. If you walk a few hundred yards up the hill from the apartment you can get fabulous views from Corona Heights and Buena Vista parks. The Castro is also handy for the Mission, the Haight, painted ladies, Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks and loads of other things you'll probably want to see.

The Castro was splendidly bonkers, and good fun, and welcoming for straight couples too. It's a far cry from Fisherman's Wharf, but you may just think that that's a good thing.

As already written by our predecessor both hosts couldn´t have been more kind and helpful. They provide as much information as possible in preparation of your trip and also during your stay, though we always had our privacy.
The location is perfect, convenient and calm neighbourhood, however in the middle of Castro with a good transport connection and many restaurants, bars and shops within splitting distance.
The appartment is clean and comfy, and, again, with a breathtaking view.
Heartily recommended

Very unique and romantic place with magical view of the city!!! Everything is very special about it: Beautiful interior design where you find Marilyn Monroe smiling at you , comfortable and spacious bed, that will help you to recharge for up coming adventures, big bath tab, where you can warm up after foggy walks on Buena Vista, and of corse breath taking view will be there rather you having a cup of coffee in a morning or enjoying a bottle of wine at night. We fell in love with Attic as much as with neighborhood, full of restaurants, lil shops and famous Castro theater. Laurence is a wonderful host, hospitable and very thoughtful . I would definitely recommend this place for people who are looking for romance and a little bit of magic. Perfect for couples:)
